Aarti's Recipe. Step 5. Rosie Assembles Everything.

Here's Rosie's rendition of Artie's meal:

A little toasted pita bread at top left,
skewered lamb kabob in a pool of pomegranate molasses,
cucumber raita to the left of the skewer,
non-Bengali spiced potatoes at bottom left,
and Rosie's tabbouleh at bottom right.
I love lamb.
I love mint with lamb.
I love the pomegranate reduction.
I love the lamb with the pomegranate.
I'd never had anything like these potatoes before.
I must say,
I'm liking the warmth of the spices
and enjoying the cool, refreshing raita -
a welcome complement.
It was ... different.
And I like different.
I'd do it again.
And I've always said,
"Indian food looks like crap,
but tastes great!"
Is there anything Indian about this?
My apologies to whomever I have offended.
